202. Set a small goal: change the rules of the imperial examination (page 1/2)

In the yard.

No one said anything for a long time after Cui Xian finished speaking.

Their eyes were slightly red, their expressions were a little dazed, and they just stared at Cui Xian.

It seems that through Cui Xian's words, I have seen the future peaceful and prosperous era with peace and prosperity, good governance and harmonious people.

That’s great, that’s great!

Old Mrs. Cui silently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and felt inexplicably aggrieved when she thought back to the family who had been trapped in poverty and suffering in previous years.

If only the 'dream world' described by Xian Ge'er could be realized long ago.

Could she have lived an easier life during these twenty years that seemed like a nightmare?

Of course, except for the Cui family who "felt the same thing".

The people who were most shocked at this moment were actually the three former "little black fans" Yan Siyuan, Qi Huaiming and Ruan Xiude.

Because the original intention of the Anti-Xian Alliance was to oppose the "political showman prodigy".

Even though he had known Jia Shao before, he was still impressed by his talent and knowledge.

And he knew that Jia Shao was Cui Xian.

But tonight, when they 're' and 'officially' got to know Cui Xian, they were still shocked by his dazzling personal charm.

It turns out that the you in the rumors is not even a fraction of what you are in real life.

It turns out that this is the real you.

If Cui Xian can be slandered as a "political showman prodigy", then looking at the world as a whole, how many people can be "doers" with a sincere heart?

In total silence.

Yan Siyuan suddenly stood up, picked up a jar of wine on the table, and silently poured a bowl for everyone.

In this situation, it seems really suitable to have a drink.

After pouring the wine.

Yan Siyuan still hadn't calmed down. He looked at Cui Xian, his voice still trembling: "When I met you, your name was Jia Shao."

"I knew at that time that you would have a bright future."

"But you just... choose to take the most uneven path."

Cui Xian smiled, looked at Yan Siyuan, and said seriously: "The road is definitely not smooth."

"But we don't seek empty fame, we just seek peace of mind - to be worthy of the truth that has entered our hearts, worthy of the bright moon above our heads, and worthy of the land that feeds us under our feet!"

Speaking of this.

Cui Xian raised the bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Think of the distant, cherish the bright, and cultivate virtue. Let's not talk about the past."

"Just for now, tonight we get to know each other again. My name is Cui Xian."

Even though I knew I was probably being tricked.

But Cui Xian's sudden move still made Yan Siyuan's face turn red with excitement.

He was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "This... is also our fault. We listened to other people's nonsense and always had prejudices against you. I, I also wrote "Xian'er Ballad"... I think I need to apologize to you... but I feel so hypocritical..."

"Anyway, you're amazing, you're the kind of person I admire the most...Oh my God, what am I saying!"

As he spoke, he became more and more confused.

He simply straightened his neck, and without even having the time to clink glasses with Cui Xian, he tilted his head back and gulped down the wine.

Ruan Xiu De and Qi Huai Ming also stood up and hurriedly picked up the wine bowls in front of them.

This scene made everyone laugh.

Su Qi, who had been pretending to be reserved just now, stood up, raised the wine bowl in his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Since you said you are getting to know each other again, then let me ask you, do you know who I am?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Xian looked at Su Qi carefully, including He Xu, Zhou Feiran, and Meng Shen behind Su Qi.

Su Qi was a little unhappy that he didn't respond immediately.

But soon, Cui Xian looked surprised and raised his voice, "Could it be that you are the great talent and witty scholar known in the Daliang literary world, Senior Brother Su Qi?"

"There are three others, but they are all famous talents, Senior Brother He Xu? Senior Brother Zhou Feiran? Senior Brother Meng Shen?"

"My name is Cui Xian. I wonder if you have heard of my humble name?"

What a clumsy and boring performance.

But...it seems to have some meaning.

Su Qi laughed loudly and shook his head proudly: "I haven't heard of it."

He Xu, Zhou Feiran and Meng Shen also couldn't help laughing.

Pei Jian also stood up and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. We drank together today, so we have heard of it, got to know each other, and made friends!"

They are really young.

Everyone laughed brilliantly and freely, and their spirits were high.

In the end, Old Cui and others also stood up, intending to join in the fun.

Before clinking glasses.

Meng Shen looked at Cui Xian and said with a smile, "Brother Cui, why don't you say a few more words? This bowl of wine is quite heavy."

Everyone looked at Cui Xian.

In fact, everyone knows that this bowl of wine is more than just wine.

This is a warm response to Choi Hyun's "I have a dream".

After drinking this bowl of wine, they become a group, a group of dreamers striving for lofty ideals.

It's absolutely amazing.

There is no ideological program, no school name, no political plan, and even no clear goals.

It all depends on Cui Xian's speech.

They managed to "trick" such a group of outstanding young talents.

It’s great to be young.

Dare to think, dare to do.

Dare to be the first in the world!

Cui Xian looked at everyone and the group of people he had gathered in front of him, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is for our family!"

"May this small space of ours, like a small flame, slowly warm up this 'little dream' and make it bright and hot."

“Let the new buds of good days sprout out from under our hands, from this soil, little by little, and spread out…greening this Central Plains and warming this world!”

"Brothers, let's bury this solid seed in the soil, water it, and watch over it... until the day when the ground is covered with green shade."

Well said!

“Have a nice day!”

"Congratulations on officially meeting each other today!"

"Cheers to ourselves!"

In the small courtyard, a group of people raised their heads and drank.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Zhuang Jin's face turned slightly red. He smiled and said, "It sounds like the five of us brothers, as well as the new brothers who joined today, are going to join forces to do something big again."

"But the wine has been drunk and everyone has gathered. Let's not talk about the rest for now. We have to have a goal first, right?"

"Otherwise, I always feel uneasy drinking this wine."

Target?

Because of the alcohol, Cui Xian was drunk and became more unrestrained and flamboyant than usual.

Under everyone's dull gaze, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then let's set a small goal!"

"Let me tell you something first, brothers. I plan to continue taking the imperial examination next year."

"So before the imperial examination next year, I will stir up a Confucian public opinion to abolish the Mao Shi Xu and annotate the new Shi Ji Zhuan."

"Because I have not yet entered the government, I cannot completely change the rules of the imperial examination, but I can challenge the rules. Until one day in the future, I will reach a high position and customize new rules."

"So our small goal is to pull the Mao Shi Xu off the altar of Confucian classics. At least, when I enter the imperial examination next year——"

"In the entire Henan province, the Mao Shi Xu is banned from the imperial examinations."

hiss!

After hearing Cui Xian's words, everyone in the audience gasped.

Good job!

Others go to take the imperial examination, but are you going to change the examination rules and textbooks?

Bro, that’s awesome.
